People takes the time to compare The OC & Mischa Barton to this year’s big hit in the teen drama market, Gossip Girl. This post was updated on March 27, 2008 with new photos.

SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN
This It girl shares more than just an uncanny resemblance to resident O.C. downer Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton, left). Serena (Blake Lively, right) seems to have it all, but in addition to a party girl reputation, dark family secrets and a disregard for high society, Serena one-ups the sulky Coop with a history of BFF betrayal.

BLAIR WALDORF
Like Summer Roberts (Rachel Bilson, left), Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) is the queen bee with the designer clothes and riches to her name. But what she doesn’t have is Summer’s loyal following: Blair’s hot boyfriend Nate has already cheated on her, and the return of ex-best friend Serena is putting her crown in jeopardy.

Is it me, or did they cast The OC all over again?!
Tags: the oc, mischa barton, gossip girl
the oc grabs you from the start and gets your attention.
gossipgirl took quite a while to get into.
i personally think gossip girl is WAYYY better!!
O.C. Was really good and it started out really strong , but when they killed the main charactor it went gay.
For all the people who thought gossip girl wouldnt make a good season 2 they are soooo wrong . Season 2 was SOOOO gooddd! and the ending was killer!
i personally cannot wait for season 3!
and WTF???? THE GOSSIP GIRL CAST IS SOOOO MUCH HOTTER THEN THE OC CAST! ARE YOU BLIND? WHAT IS EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT?!?!
[...] fact, one of the longest-running debates on Mischa News has been The OC vs. Gossip Girl —which one is better. I will leave that for you to fight over. I love them [...]
oc is so much better than gossip girl! and im really tryin to give gg a chance.
i just started to watch it and almost finished the 1st season.
but it just didnt catch me like the oc. the show had just so much more flair.
and the caracters were much more real and understandable.
gossip girl is just a very cheap rip-off. (and i HATE the intro!!!!!)
